A habit I need to break: Watching the keyboard instead of the monitor when I type. I am so used to hunting and peaking, that I've trained myself to watch the keyboard. Then, when I think to reread what I've written, 9 times out of 10, I see what I think I have written rather then what I actually typed.

Now that I am pretty familiar with the layout, despite what I tell myself, I need to watch what I am writing more. This should cut down my typos if I can make the shift.

I've found that there are some typing games out there which are really useful. I had the same sort of training that Gen did with typing and so touch typing comes quickly to me. I still mess up sometimes because the speed of thoughts and words don't match up. But games like Typer Shark or ones where you have to type quickly are a good challenge since you have to look at the screen and not at your fingers.
